CVE-2007-6469
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSQL injection vulnerability in index.php in phpRPG 0.8, when magic_qutoes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the username parameter. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in phpRPG 0.8's index.php allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands through the username parameter when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled. The vulnerability stems from unsanitized user input being directly incorporated into SQL queries.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm phpRPG installationLocate the web directory where phpRPG index.php is installed. This is typically in the web root or a subdirectory accessible via HTTP.Affected if phpRPG index.php is present in the web-accessible directory.
-
Verify phpRPG versionExamine the installed phpRPG files for version information. Check index.php header comments, a VERSION file, or any configuration files that may display the version number.Affected if The installed version is exactly 0.8 (phprpg phprpg = 0.8).
-
Check PHP magic_quotes_gpc settingCreate a PHP script with phpinfo() or check the PHP configuration file (php.ini) for the magic_quotes_gpc directive. This setting can also be checked at runtime using get_magic_quotes_gpc().Affected if magic_quotes_gpc is disabled (set to Off or 0). When enabled, the vulnerability is blocked because backslashes are added to quote characters.
-
Identify vulnerable code pathExamine index.php to locate the code that processes the username parameter and constructs SQL queries. Look for direct concatenation of the username parameter into SQL statements without escaping or parameterized queries.Affected if index.php contains SQL queries that directly incorporate the username parameter without sanitization or prepared statements.
You are affected if phpRPG 0.8 is installed, index.php contains unsanitized username parameter usage in SQL queries, and magic_quotes_gpc is disabled in PHP configuration.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements and implement proper input validation. Alternatively, enable magic_quotes_gpc as a temporary workaround, though this is deprecated and should not be considered a long-term solution.
